Converting VB and VB script apps to php

I recently tried a conversion of an old asp website to php. The process went pretty well using the asp2php converter located at http://asp2php.naken.cc/

The problems cropped up in the custom ADODB connection. That really doesn’t work. But no biggie I was able to complete the conversion with not too much effort.

Now here is where it got fun. I started thinking about if I could convert a VB application to php. I’ve written hundreds of VB applications all the way from vb 2.0 to 6.0 (yeah I’m that old) and I know php well enough to convert the application. The process would be much the same. I have an old vb 6 application I am going to convert into a php web app. This should be fun. I will let you know the results soon!
